We provide comprehensive legal services tailored specifically for IT companies, including contract drafting and review, intellectual property protection, data privacy compliance, employment law guidance, and dispute resolution. Our team specializes in software licensing agreements, SaaS terms, GDPR compliance, and other tech-specific legal matters.

Software protection involves multiple legal strategies. First, ensure proper copyright registration for your code. Implement clear licensing agreements for all users. Consider patent protection for novel algorithms or processes. Use non-disclosure agreements with employees and contractors. We can help draft comprehensive protection plans that combine these approaches for maximum security.

SaaS startups must address several critical legal areas: comprehensive Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents, proper data protection compliance (especially for international operations), clear intellectual property ownership clauses, appropriate service level agreements, payment processing terms, and liability limitations. We recommend early legal consultation to establish proper foundations before scaling.

GDPR applies if you process personal data of EU residents, regardless of your company's location. This includes offering services to EU customers, monitoring EU user behavior, or having EU-based employees. Compliance requires data protection impact assessments, appointing an EU representative, implementing privacy by design, and establishing proper data processing agreements. Penalties for non-compliance can reach 4% of global revenue.

A robust software development contract should clearly define: project scope and deliverables, intellectual property ownership, payment terms and schedules, confidentiality obligations, acceptance testing procedures, warranty and maintenance terms, liability limitations, termination conditions, dispute resolution mechanisms, and data security requirements. We can customize contracts for various development models including fixed-price, time-and-materials, or agile approaches.

Mobile app protection requires a multi-layered approach: copyright registration for code and creative elements, trademark protection for your app name and logo, comprehensive End User License Agreement (EULA), privacy policy compliant with app store requirements and relevant regulations, patent protection for unique features, and contractual safeguards with developers. We also recommend implementing proper open-source license compliance procedures.

Open-source software risks include license compliance violations (particularly with copyleft licenses like GPL), intellectual property contamination, security vulnerabilities, and warranty issues. Companies must implement strict open-source policies, conduct regular audits, maintain detailed software bills of materials, and train developers on license requirements. We help clients establish compliance programs and mitigate these risks effectively.
